MANILA — Philippine President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo ordered Thursday a manhunt for Muslim militants believed to be
operating in the southern Mindanao Island in the wake of the arrest of a
suspected Indonesian terrorist.

"We shall beat terrorism decisively and comprehensively,"
Arroyo said in a statement, vowing to nail Jemaah Islamiyah operatives still
operating in the country. (Kyodo News)
